OpenCart Community

Hello
I just found OpenCart and it looks like a great program.  (I am getting sick of the other options!)

I tried to search for my answer here but I wasnt finding it, so I will just ask. Sorry if this is a repeat question.

I need to keep a store private - ie. hide the products and/or pricing from the public until they have registered for an account and been approved.  Is that possible with OpenCart?

Further, is it possible to hide certain categories from users (maybe with a usergroup?)

you need to create a PHP user authentication code to do that or you can use the login/logout code that is already in the system. Its going to be a lot of work.

as for usergroups.. they don't exsist as of this point.

to force registrtion ...  that is easy...  about hmm maybe 5 small lines of code.

let me look at it and see what i can muster in for code.

I've already done this for another client - prices are hidden until they log-in.

I've also changed the log-in process so they have to be approved by an admin before the user account becomes valid.

If this is of interest to you (or others) I can make the code available.

NWJ.

Thank you for your replies.

Access to the code for both price hiding and account approval would be wonderful. Thanks!

I have one more question - when you have different attributes (like color) for a certain product, can you have a different inventory amount for each color, or is the inventory for the total of the product?

Thank you!

I tried installing this over a fresh install of opencart and i get the following errors.
Only when I try to hide both price and add to cart.

In Header:
Notice: Undefined variable: price in /var/www/upload/catalog/template/default/content/product.tpl on line 7

In body:
Notice: Undefined variable: price in /var/www/upload/catalog/template/default/content/product.tpl on line 53

Any Ideas?

I have the same problem:
Notice: Undefined variable: price in /var/www/upload/catalog/template/default/content/product.tpl on line 7
Notice: Undefined variable: price in /var/www/upload/catalog/template/default/content/product.tpl on line 53

Would you please inform us what to do to fix that?
